Spring in the Zillertal - skiing fun and more
Spring in the Zillertal combines the best of both worlds: While nature awakens to new life in the valleys and the first hikes beckon, the high altitude of the Zillertal ski resorts guarantees skiing fun well into April. At an altitude of up to 3,250 metres, 546 kilometres of perfectly groomed pistes and 180 modern lifts await you - ideal for families, leisure skiers and ambitious winter sports enthusiasts alike.
But the Zillertal offers even more in spring: exciting events such as the 90s Days, the Alpicon Festival or the Lederhosen Wedel Days ensure unforgettable experiences. Child-friendly offers will delight the whole family, while skiers can enjoy Austria's longest ski season on the Hintertux Glacier. Discover the diversity of the Zillertal and round off the winter at the highest level!
Perfect pistes and moments of pleasure in the Zillertal spring
The Zillertal ski areas offer skiers everything their hearts desire in spring: 546 kilometres of pistes, state-of-the-art lifts and guaranteed snow up to an altitude of 3,250 metres. After sporty descents, the cosy mountain huts invite you to take a well-earned break. Regional delicacies, sun terraces and impressive panoramic views await you here - skiing and enjoyment at the highest level!
Guaranteed snow until well into spring
The Zillertal guarantees skiing fun until late spring - and for good reason: over 80% of the pistes are at an altitude of more than 1,700 metres, some even up to 3,250 metres, and are therefore particularly snow-sure. In addition, state-of-the-art snow-making facilities ensure optimum conditions on over 80% of the pistes. This extends the winter in the Zillertal - perfect for all skiing enthusiasts!
